Unable to save TextEdit Documents

I am getting a message "There is not enough space to save this document to iCloud." when attempting to save a TextEdit document. Is it possible to save locally?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

Trying to download huge file from icloud I have a huge file over 200GB in my icloud. (It is a final cut library) I'm trying for months to download it to my mac but it never works. I tried through wireless and cable. Both doesn't work. Sometimes it continues to download up to 50GB or so and suddenly the downloading process stops. Sometimes it says it's downloaded successfully but it's only 5GB or so and when I try to expand it, it says it is inappropriate file format. Is there any way I could download this file? It's a very important file. I would've never let it uploaded to icloud if I had known it would be so hard to download it back.

Not able to reach documents on iCloud drive Since the improved interface of iCloud drive is released, I am not able to reach all of my documents. This is really a problem. I tried several times, but the page is not loading for me. I have tried it on my iPhone and on a normal laptop. Anyone who recognizes this or know what to do?

Sure. Save it to some location that isn't on iCloud. If you have iCloud Desktop and Documents turned on, then you won't be able to use either your Desktop or your Documents folders.
